This has been one of the worst weeks for rain in a very long time! It feels as though it has been raining non-stop for 2 weeks. Despite the wet weather, things are stil motoring here... the students went to Riverdance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverdance during the week and they managed to find a sunny few hours to go to visit Howth for the fistival out there. Diane was able to convince a lighthouse keeper to let the student visit his lighthouse and there were some pretty stunning photos, taken by Shin (Again - many thanks!)Also, this is great; a few weeks ago some of the
students were out in Sandycove and bumped into Mary Hanafin. So who is Mary Hanafin I can hear you al ask! She's only the current Minister for Education in Ireland. The students had a chat with her, she asked them a few questions about how they found education in Ireland and it all culminated in a group photo, Mary Hanafin is the lady in the middle, theonly one that looks like a politician :-) When i heard about it, I got quite excited but the students didn't seem to care too much. I am sure there is a sarky comment to be made there about students and education and there disinterest - but I won't say a word ;-)Thats all for now,
Kevin
